Since last March, I've done so much. I'll create a list or I'll be here all day. LOL
Anyway, I just wanted to say the creative me is NOT dead. I'm just pouring more of that into writing than art right now. I don't know if I shared it before (probably not) but if you want to follow me on Wattpad, you can do that here. If you do follow me on Wattpad and read my book, I could really use some feedback and votes. For those who want to read my first novel, you can do that here. If you want to stay updated on my writing journey, you can do that here where I blog on Weebly.
I think that's as much as I have time for today. I still have to get my word count in for Camp Nano and time is ticking...
- Finished revising and uploading my first story 'Ripples' to Wattpad. (It's now ready to send off to an editor but I can't afford it just yet.)
- Wrote the rough draft for 'Over Land & Under Stone', my second novel, during NaNo 2017.
- Started writing my third novel, 'Surge', this month during Camp Nano.
- Was invited to become part of an excellent facebook support group for writers.
- Created cover art for 'Over Land & Under Stone'
- participated in a bunch of Instagram writing challenges

Work, Work, Work
I've been working on a novel since November...well, maybe it'd be more accurate to say I started in October. I've just finished the second revision as well as a promotional story that I'll be sharing on my new website soon. I think I've just been so overwhelmed with life over the last couple of years. This novel has really helped me return to a creative way of thinking and living. And it all started the way any of my projects usually start... "Why don't I try this?" So I'm not going to quit creating art on paper just so I can create art with the written word. I'm not going to stop making chainmail or quit sewing costumes. I've just chosen to
Lots of Changes
So much has happened in 2016. It was a rough year for my family. I won't regale you with the awful things, most of which have to do with finding ways to earn extra income. The good things that happened, though, I'll be happy to share them.
I participated in NaNoWriMo this past November and I'm working on the first revision of my first novel, which has the working title of "Ripples." I hope to have it finished and self-published by the end of summer. I created a temporary cover for it and I'll share that here when I'm done with my note. My husband will create the final cover and he's also decided to try his hand at creating maps.
During
Time To Get It Together
JDKittlesPhotography (https://www.deviantart.com/jdkittlesphotography) has been encouraging me to push my work more and do more to get it out there. Honestly, I'm fighting the feeling of being overwhelmed by my busy life right now. I have a hard time delegating tasks to certain times and then sticking with the schedule. I guess it's time for me to get it together. If you have the time, I've posted 4 polls. I need help narrowing down the photos and artwork I need to edit for uploading it to my Redbubble and Society 6 pages. If I try to edit all 20 photos and all 18 pieces of art, it's going to take a huge chunk of my time. I'd rather post those things that more people are interested in,
Holiday Preparations
My family celebrates Christmas during the winter. It's been an extremely long time since any of us have had new stockings to hang up. My boss has a fabulous selection of metallic fabrics so we're going to have a wonderfully festive bookcase this year. We added one person's stocking to our bookcase decor last year and this year, we'll add one more. I'm not entirely certain where I'll hang them all! When they are done, I'll share a photo of them.
In science, we just finished up a study on the physics of kites and are in the process of constructing our own. That's taken quite a lot of my time and energy lately. I made a nonogon flat kite. My da
